Picador Poetry Prize

Just saw this now. Ten shortlisted poets vying for a Picador collection - this is a good initiative. Glad to see Mort, Wilkinson and Buckley on the list - all poets I have involved in Oxfam projects - and delighted to learn the names of others I hadn't yet encountered yet. British poetry is bursting at the seams with talent at the moment; glad some of it is being scooped up and offered out.
